Hi, friends. It’s The Man here. As The Brit and I have been saying recently, it isn’t easy being trans and/or nonbinary right now. The news is savage. Thank Dog we can escape into some fine romantic pulp. Anyway, here’s a post that celebrates transness and also offers some tips for those fine folks who wish to romance us.
The question: How do trans people want to be romanced? Some answers:
With Compassion
“Fuck, I just read the news. How’re you doing today?”
“This restaurant has amazing food and all-gender bathrooms, which makes the overall experience pretty damn superb.”
With Free Booze
“Does Pinot get you hot? Me, too. Let’s crack this open.”
With Advocacy
“So, I love my grandma, but she can be forgetful. If she misgenders you, I’ll be sure to correct her every time. If you feel comfortable, please feel free to do the same.”
“Again, I’m the only one at this table who uses he/him pronouns. I can’t have you talking to my date that way.”
With Occasional Sexy Affirmation
“You’re beautiful and smart. I really want to get to know you better. Wink, wink.”
“Can those big muscles of yours help me move this chair to the bedroom? Great! Wink, wink.”
With Presents
“You mentioned your love of houseplants. Will this one do?”
“I wrote the poem about you and I want to read it at the open mic tonight. Will you read it first and let me know if that’s okay?”
How about you? Let us know how YOU want to be romanced on Instagram!
